Denial of Service Attacks (Part 5): The Smurf Attack

This chalk talk video, which is part of a broader series on Denial-of-Service attacks, describes an old technique known as the Smurf attack. Fortunately, most modern systems are patched against the Smurf attack, but it is still interesting from a broader historical perspective. For a comprehensive list of chalk talks, please visit go.sourcefire.c.... Video by Dr. Zulfikar Ramzan, Sourcefire's Chief Scientist in the Cloud Technology Group.

[@MrFixBroken]

How was it patched specifically? What prevents this from still happening?

[@josephdempster5337]

+MrFixBroken Most networks limit the amount of outbound ICMP requests allowed in a given time period.

[@MrFixBroken]

+Joseph Dempster Whoa. I asked that like 2 years ago while studying for a network security exam. Thanks for the reply!
